커뮤니티 기반 미디어 아트: 지역 사회적 맥락과 자원을 바탕으로 한 미디어 아트

Community-based media art: A terminology for media art practices based on local social context and resources

Media art has evolved significantly by integrating diverse technological advancements and expanding its conceptual boundaries. However, there remains a lack of standardized terminology to describe media art practices that explicitly incorporate regional contexts, social dynamics, and local cultural resources. This study aims to resolve this terminological ambiguity by proposing a comprehensive framework for defining and categorizing region-based media art practices. Drawing upon extensive literature review and analysis of both domestic and international case studies, this research identifies and defines key terms such as “region-based media art,” “site-specific media art,” “cultural archetype-based media art,” “socially engaged media art,” and “public media art.” Each term is systematically outlined with distinct conceptual boundaries and characteristics, while acknowledging the interrelations and potential overlaps among them. This framework seeks to provide a clearer understanding and language for diverse media art practices grounded in place, community, and cultural specificity.
